Abstract: A micro-LED display device and modulation scheme for applying image data to an imager. The micro-LED display, including a plurality of micro-LED pixels disposed in rows and columns array, may use a modulation scheme. The method includes using row write actions to write data to said rows of micro-LED pixels; and using spacing of row write actions to create grey scale modulation, wherein one spacing between sequential row write actions is at a first distance while another spacing between sequential row write actions is at a second distance greater than said first distance.

Abstract: A liquid crystal lens cell comprises a pair of flat layers with the liquid crystal lens supported between the layers. One of the layers supports a planar electrode made of ITO. The other electrode, also formed of ITO, is supported in the center of the opposing substrate and projects downwardly toward the center of the liquid crystal layer. A power supply creates a potential difference between the two electrodes and accordingly imposes a non-uniform electric field on the liquid crystal modules which aligns them in which a way as to act as a lens. By varying the voltage between the two electrodes the focal length of the lens may be controlled. A central electrode may be in the form of a beam or of a pointed tip. In other embodiments of the invention an electrode having a central hole may be associated with the central electrode or the planar electrode.

Abstract: A system for photographing an object and generating a three-dimensional display of the object without the need for the observer to wear special glasses employs a camera having an electronically tunable liquid crystal lens in which the focal plane of the lens may be adjusted by controlling the voltage on the lens. An operator of the camera focuses the camera on the scene to be imaged and the camera records a series of images at closely spaced focal lengths by varying the voltage applied to the lens between the images. The digitally recorded images are then used to generate a display on a multilayer transparent display substrate with pixel addressing capabilities. Each of the recorded images at the differing focal lengths are displayed on one of the layers of the display screen, with the closest focal length recorded being displayed on the top screen, the one most proximate to the observer, and with successive images on other screens. A three-dimensional image is produced.

Abstract: An electrically controlled liquid crystal zoom lens system for a camera or the like is set to a desired zoom by an operator. The desired zoom signal is provided to an image signal processor which also receives the output of an image sensor at the output of the lens. The process generates a control signal for a power supply which adjusts the voltage between electrodes sandwiching the liquid crystal module. By rapid, iterative adjustment the actual zoom is brought to the desired zoom level. The liquid crystal module is combined in series with conventional lenses which may be integrated with the liquid crystal.

Abstract: In a system and method of timely updating specific fields of a web page, an updating program installed at the client timely downloads via a network update data stored at a server, and writes the update data in a specific field of the web page displayed in the browser of the client.

Abstract: An online bidding method includes an online bidding system established on a web server for a purchaser to publish at least an inquiring item, and a plurality of suppliers to compete the bids. The method includes the following steps. Receive inquiry information of at least a bid item registered by an inquirer. Store each bid item in a respective databank in the web server. When receive bid information from a bidder, store the information in the correspondent bid item databank. Calculate the rank of initial bids of all bidders according to the initial bid prices and the preset weightings. Store the rank in the correspondent bid item databank. The bidders update their bids with the specific reduction ratio. Then, the system stores the data in the correspondent bid item databank, and updates the rank by the newest bid prices and the preset weightings.
